Irvine dad, Dr. Jeffrey Podlas, desperately needs a new kidney

Originally from South Africa and now a resident of Irvine for 27+ years, Jeff is an OBGYN and has delivered over 5,000 babies in his career, many of whom you know personally. His family is asking for your help.

He was diagnosed with kidney failure due to Nephrotic Syndrome, and has been on dialysis since March 2011. He is in need of a kidney transplant, and he is of O negative blood type. Whether you can help by spreading the word or by getting tested as a match yourself, the Podlas family is extremely grateful for your support.

Potential donors can contact Virginia at Scripps Health in San Diego, CA for more information: corniel.virginia@scrippshealth.org (858) 554-4356.
